NAPLES, JUNE 4.—The English, desirous to in terrupt again the repose which we this moment en ." joy, itav disembarked some hundreds of bandittrat various points of Calabria ; but the people, who have been so of the vialina of English instigations, and tire convinced of their impotence, united in a mass to di ive back these their allies.- Two hundred villains, disembarked near Reggio, were dispersed in' an instant. Surprised that they did riot,_ as formerly, ftild'a place of refuge, some of .theni surrendered at discretion, while others were . , made prisoners or slain. The English had paid these rt.,:kers ten iays in advance,' with assurances, that, when this landing was effeeted, they would be supported by a very considerable.reinforcement Of troops. An English Brig and three Gun=boats have en deavoured to seize some Ships on the Coast of Nic ht°. The national guard of Messina and the adjoin ing places, after an engagement which lasted four hours, obliged the Enemy to retire. Yesterday another affair took place :between our Gun-boats and the English and,Siciliank,who wished /o make an attack upon the Islands of Ischia . and Procita, at the extremity of the Gulph of Naples. battle. terminated altogether in our favour.— We await the details.

TIIEII2 nppears to be an"pncomnion degree of ynciilLuif . ;n the Councils of Holland with resped to Commercial Regulations. It appears from the, following Letter, which we this morning received from our Correspondent at Deal, that the Embargo upon American Ships in the Dutch Ports has been taken off: " The American Ship Minetva, Capt. JENKTNS, arrived in the Downs last night_ from Rotterdam, bringing the pleasing intelligence of the Embargo - in Holland being removed, and that the American Ships then there were allow / ell to sail for America, on condition of taking a cargo on board the produce of that Country." LAST night some more Foreign Papers, to the 19th inst. arrived. One of:the most curious articles they contain is a Proclamation - issued by BUONA-• PARTE to the . People of Spain, dated the 3d instant ; which' certainly equals, in point of extravagant boMbast, any thing that has appeared since the Re volution. . After informing the People of Spain that their Nation had fallen into decay, he says," I have seen, your sufferings—l will relieve them—Your greatness makes a part of mine." The People of Madrid had good reason to know how deeply he .for their sufferings, and how effeetually he could relieve them. Just cue month before this 'Proclamation, they had seen the streets of their City stseaming with the blood of its inhabitants; shed by the Soldiers of that man who tells `them he feels for .their 'sufferings, and will relive them. He then proceeds to inform them, that he will not reign over them hithself, but for their consolation 'he assures them ;that •us will place their Illus. trious Crown upon the head of one who resem bles HIM; and 'he concludes this mixture of cruel insult and ridiQlous boinbait, with this expression. " IT IS MY WILL that •my memo ry shall be blessed by your latest posterity !" Or,'iu other words, I ; have, without the. slightest provoca tion or pretext, invaded your kingdom in time of profound, peace--4 _have treacherously dethroned your Sovereign; with whom 'was in strid 'alliance —I have slaughtered the citizens of yourta pita!, 6e. cause They dared to dispute my coMmandi, and there fore it is my will And pleasure that my name should be blessed by you and your posterity ! !—There ap pears strong reason to believe that NAPARTE 'is to be the new King of Spain we cannot otherwise account for his _ journey froth Naples to Bayonne, where' he arrived on the toth Instant, and (he Spanish 'Nobles assembled there had the honour of being presented to -him.— . We should hardly suppose that Jowl" undeitook this journey merely as an excursion of pleasure, es pecially as wei: find by the 8000ttlit4 fr..:111 that several disembarkations have taken plfiee Calabria'from Sicily. Not that his presenca would. impede our operations in that quarter, but we think that, under such.circumstances, he would riot for the sake of appearances have quitted his newly ac. quired Kingdom if it were not for the purpose to which we have alluded. The int e lli gence f ro m the North in these Papers is neither new nor important. The agitation of subjeCts relative to the Roman Catholics which the Opposition so often bring for ward, begins to excite serious alarm throughout the country, particularly as the - leading people among the Catholic Body are . exerting • themselves with all passible , zeal to accompliih the objeds they have. in •vig . 151 , told seem to conclude that, by •the aid of the party.who have :espoused their interests in -Paha: went, the .time is not far distant when all their wishes will be completely fulfilled. We are`assured that a subscription is glively going forward at this' mobieto, the real.purpose of Which is toestablish a' large food in order to retain a considerable number of *Titers, , who are to be constantly - employed in the attempt to promote the Catholic' Cause, and to 'endeavour to dispose the public mind to be friendly to the Catholic Claims. With this view a Paper has , • been in circulation among the more wealthy order • of Catholics, :and cotisiderable sums have already bee 4 S4tbBCribe4. At singular fait has occurred on this oc.:asion, which deserve,,, to be particularly.tio.. ticed, as it hhews the,disposition of the CAtholick, and their devoted attachment to eyert.thing which regards their dodrines. The Paper alluded to was at first addressed to " the Noblemen. and • Gentle men of the Catholic Pequasion." This designation gave so much offence to a Roman Catholic Priest in 1 this metropolis that ,be. publicly censured it' front the pulpit,. accusing the persons by whom it 'was issued pf cowardice in_ using such a word as persuasion, which he maintained signified only belief or opinion . , whereas the do6trines of the. Catholic Church were founded upon indisputable truth, and would admit of no qualibing expressiosf. The promoters of the subscription, though , they disapproved of this intern- . • prate openness an the part of.the Priest, deemed it their tiuty to submit to his . opinion. , The Paper ` already printed was. therefore stopped, and another !' was published addressed to " the Catholic Nobilit y , Gentry," &c, by which means the allensive term was avoided. This raa'is very important, and ought to be a subject of deep reflection to .those who .are so zealously supporting what are called Catholic Claims, for if the leaders, of the great body o 4 Catholics think it their duty to confonn . thuS suk missively to the opinion of an humble individual of their order, how implicitly are they likely to obey the directions of those who possess higher authority among them ? And if an individual, who, doubtless has great influence within -his sphere of action, can be thus open and decided upon the adoption- of - a mere word, at a time, when it is the interest of the whole body to condo& themselves with-the utmost caution, •what might be expelled if all restiiC s tions were taken away, and the Catholics were placed Uponen.equal . footing with those who support the Established Religion of the COuntry ? We know the proielyting zeal of the Roman Catholics, we know the alluring nature of their religious forms upon the vulgar mind, and we have reason to be lieve that in proportion as they increase m power their attempts to spread their doarines will increase in the same proportion. The matter is inure serious than is apprehended by those shalloW or interested Politicians who are s'o strenuously exerting them selves on this subject. We are, however, happy in finding that in all parts of the Country the good sense of Englishmen prevails, and though they wish that The Roman Catholics should enjoy a wise toler ation .to, its utmost extent, they are anxious that the good old Constitution in Church and State should not be exposed to dangerous experiments, and perhaps fall a sacrifice to fallacious notions of cis it liberty, or the itisldioas artifices of political am bitions. The Spanish Prisoners were embarked the day be fore yesterday at Plymouth, to be, sent to their own Country. Major ROCHE, (belonging to the Earl of-CRA VEN'S Staff), who signalized himself not only by hii military abilities, but by his conciliating manners towards the Spaniards at Monte Video, has with much judgment been selected by Government for an itnportant mission to Spain. He set out on Sufi day last for Plymouth, from whence bt proceeds in a fast-sailing Frigate, with Sir TLIONIAI DYER, and another Gentleman, employed on:the same interest ing occasion. - • The Princess of WALES gives a grand ball on Monday evening:.

The Speedwell, Captain RAINES (lately arrived at Cork), one of the homeward-bound West India Fleet, had a smart salon on her passage with a large French. Privateer, full of men. The Speed well fell in with her On the t4th•of May; whrll there was• little wind, and the Privateer bore down upon tier with fifty sweeps. She, however, notwith= . standing her great inferiority of force, met with. se gallant a resistance, as to be obliged iati a very short time to sheer off, without having done the Speedwell any material injury, or killing or wounding any of her crew. The Speedwell, on the 25th of May, fell in with a Danish Privateer, of 1,0 guns, and full of men, which, alter a running fight of an hour . and a half, she also beat off, without sustainirg any loss in men. The Brest Fleet made an attempt, list week, to put to sea, but our Fleet-off Ushant being apprised of the movement by signals, came dashing down, cleared for anion, and upon their appearance the Enemy returned to their anchorage. A Charleston Paper of the 34 May contains a letter, of which the•following is a copy : ". PHILADELPHIA APRIL 22, 1108.—Arrived the Ship Richmond , THACKERA, from Ver:, Cruz. • On the 6th inst. fell in with a boat having on board the sailing Captain, two Midshipmen, and eighteen men, belonging to his Britannic Majesty's SIC-op of War Alums, Capt. Dtri , p, which was cast away the 24th ult. going into Hinda Bay; supplied them with provisions sufficient to carry them to New Providence, whither they were bound." ".,SPGAII AND IgOLASSEB.- , --The third Report of the Cominittee recommends the expediency' of _permit ting the Proprietors of West India Estates to barter sugar and coffee, as well as rum and molasses, for the lumber and provisions imported in neutral ye:- sels during the war, and this, it think's, if coupled With the adoption of measures of increased vigour with reipe6t An the commerce carried on by the Enemy's Islands, would effectually relieve the Bri tish planter from the evils he now so justly com plains of. With respect to such measures ,it sug gests, that a recurrence to the rule of the war of 1756, or a blockade, gene ra l or partial, of the hostile Colonies, would waterially alter the case. ROBBE4Y.—Pp Tuesday night *ems.' Wilson and Saunders,. Leather Sellers, of Oxford-road, were stopped on . Hampstead Heath, and robbed of cash and notes to the ataciutit 012,700. by live footpads, who were dressed . in smock-frocks, and appeared like farmers' men. The ruffians immediately went over the fields, apparently in a dire ion towards London. - Messrs. Wilson and Saunders have offered toward o 9 conyietion of the offenders. NAVAL NEWS.
